FOREWORDby Director-General MAMPU
the open source software (oss) movement has indeed grown significantlyover the recent years, pervasively used in our daily lives, and increasinglychanging the landscape of the ICt industry. the motivations of interoperabilityand freedom of choice are further reinforced by cost benefits; an advantagethat most industries, governments,and communities will appreciate duringchallenging times like now, where economic slowdown is seen worldwide.
the effective use of ICt has always been integral to the transformation of thepublic sector delivery system. In this respect, the Malaysian Government hasintroduced its Public sector oss Master Plan since 2004. since its inception,the oss Master plan has achieved many milestones, where more than half ofthe government agencies have adopted and benefited from its implementation.Yet, the oss agenda of accelerating the growth the local ICt and the nurturingof an active oss community is yet to be fully pursued.
the MsC Malaysia open source Conference 2009 has been organized tosupplement the government's oss annual conference, MyGossCon toprovide further exposure on the importance of active collaboration amongthe government, the business and the R&D community to sustain the ossecosystem. With the theme "open for Change", this event will provide a greatopportunity for all to exchange and refresh views, a possibility to shiftparadigms and achieve better success as an innovating society.
I wish to express my profound appreciation to MDeC for inviting MAMPU tobe an important part of this conference. Wishing all a fruitful and enjoyableconference. thank you,
Dato' Normah Binti Md. YusofDirector-General MAMPU
